Will you come up with a second installment?
Right now, I’m working on a kid’s cookbook, “Cooking for Dad.” It’s for dads in the kitchen. It’s not a continuation of my first book. How much has the Culinary Institute of America trained you as a cook, compared to starting out in your family’s kitchen at age 6?
The diploma is the big difference. It helps [you] get a better job and make more money. Cooking is not about what you learn in a book; it’s about love for food. It’s about creativity and, of course, you have to have the passion. Don’t get me wrong—I learned a lot though. I still learn every day. Aside from Grandpa Joe’s Jelly Cookies, what are your favorite recipes from the book?
The Tater Tot Bake. It’s beef, potato, and other vegetables all in one, cooked for thirty minutes. It’s a great quick casserole. I also love the Vegetable Hamburger Soup. Any other advice for kids and parents who do not know how to cook?
Get in there and do it. If it doesn’t work, you can just throw it away and try again. Don’t make it a chore. Make it fun! “Chicken Soup for the Soul Kids in the Kitchen: Tasty Recipes and Fun Activities for Budding Chefs” is available on amazon.com, or cookwithantonio@aol.com. bc
